A Deeper Dive into Your New Radio Player

Let’s explore the core features that make the Sticky Radio Player an essential tool for any online radio station, podcaster, or musician.

Unmatched Streaming Compatibility: Shoutcast & Icecast

The backbone of this player is its seamless integration with the industry-standard streaming protocols. It supports both Shoutcast (V1 & V2) and Icecast (V2), covering virtually every online radio setup. This means no complicated configurations or third-party workarounds are needed.

Simply input your stream’s IP and port, and the player handles the rest. It intelligently parses the metadata to display the ‘Now Playing’ information, providing a real-time, dynamic experience for your audience. This robust compatibility ensures your stream is stable, reliable, and always accessible.

Fully Responsive, Sticky, Full-Width Design

User experience is paramount. This player was built from the ground up to be mobile-first and fully responsive. Whether your listeners are on a 27-inch monitor or a 6-inch smartphone, the player adjusts its layout to provide optimal controls and readability.

The ‘sticky’ functionality is a game-changer for engagement. By docking the player to the bottom of the viewport, you ensure the music never stops as users browse your site. This continuous playback significantly increases listening time and keeps your audience connected to your content.

Engage Listeners with Song History & Artist Images

Go beyond simple audio playback. The Sticky Radio Player creates a rich, interactive experience. It automatically pulls the current artist’s image from the iTunes API, adding a vibrant visual element that captures attention.

Furthermore, the built-in song history feature is a fan favorite. Listeners can open a panel to see a list of recently played tracks.
